The next day.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning entered the window lattice, Xie Chengyan woke up.

As soon as he turned around, he could see Gu Zhaozhao's sweet and peaceful sleeping face, and hearing her even breathing, Xie Chengyan felt very at ease.

Xie Chengyan got up at almost the same time every day. No matter how tired he was the day before, he would wake up on time the next day. This was a habit he developed from practicing martial arts as a child.

But now that she is by my side, I feel a bit like lying in bed.

Xie Chengyan resisted the stinging pain from his eyes, opened his eyes and looked at the beauty in front of him, she looked very beautiful when she was asleep, she let go of her defenses during the day, she was quietly like an angel at this moment.

Xie Chengyan stretched out his fingers to touch the tooth marks bitten off by him yesterday. Today's marks are redder than yesterday's. This is the mark he made.

Xie Chengyan closed his eyes and was about to get up. Gu Zhaozhao stretched out his long legs and laid them lightly on his body.

Holding the corner of his clothes tightly with his hands, he seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

Xie Chengyan gently took Gu Zhaozhao's legs off his body, and pulled the corner of the clothes out of her clenched hands.

A smile flickered across the corner of his mouth: "The sleeping posture is really bad." Putting on his robe, he went to Xie Beiluo's room.

Xie Beiluo was sleeping soundly, but was awakened by a sudden knock on the door. Xie Beiluo wrapped his little quilt tightly and pretended not to hear.

"Open the door. If you don't open the door, I'll come in by myself." Xie Chengyan said in a decisive tone.

"Here we come." When Xie Beiluo heard it was his senior brother's voice, he quickly got up and opened the door for him.

Xie Chengyan looked at Xie Beiluo, whose hair was messy and whose eyes hadn't opened yet, with disgust on his face.

Well, he shouldn't have been frightened yesterday, he was just as lazy and lively as before.

"It's really dirty. After you wash up, go to Prince Yi's mansion to see what he does in a few days." Xie Chengyan paused and continued: "Be careful this time, don't get caught again."

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Xie Beiluo alone in a mess.

Gu Zhaozhao has been running around for a whole day, and was harassed by King Yi late at night. She just felt that she couldn't get enough sleep. If it wasn't for her strong sense of mission calling her, she could sleep until the afternoon.

Xie Chengyan told Mo Zhi not to wake her up, so when Gu Zhaozhao arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the table was already full of people.

Sensing Gu Zhaozhao's arrival, they looked at Gu Zhaozhao in unison, and Gu Zhaozhao could only smile awkwardly and friendly.

"I'll just wait for you." The prince said to Gu Zhaozhao, waving his fan, but there was no blame in his tone.

"Sorry everyone, I'm late." Gu Zhaozhao pulled out a stool and sat beside Xie Chengyan.

"A little earlier than I thought." Xie Chengyan said casually while holding a teacup.

"Why didn't you call me..." Gu Zhaozhao pushed Xie Chengyan's arm.

"Hmph..." Xie Chengyan chuckled, but did not answer her.

Seeing their flirting and cursing, the prince coughed lightly: "Okay, A Yan has already told us what happened yesterday."

The prince nodded to Gu Weiyi and said, "Weiyi, you continue."

"Well," Gu Weiyi nodded, "Yesterday, I investigated Xuedie's whereabouts with Nan'an, and found nothing unusual."

"How?" Gu Zhaozhao was puzzled.

"We also thought it was strange, but after careful inspection, we found that it was indeed the case." Gu Weiyi paused, thinking about something seriously.

Continued: "After I submitted the blood butterfly, because the blood butterfly is special, the father-in-law did not pass the blood butterfly through the hands of others, and sealed it in the warehouse after inspection."

"Then why is the powder of vitality scattered on the blood butterfly?" No, someone must have tampered with it, and the vitality powder and lack of long legs can't appear on the blood butterfly for no reason.

Gu Zhaozhao propped his chin and shook his head, "Brother Gu, think about it carefully, is there any detail missing?"

Xie Chengyan said, "Did you meet any strange people that day?" If there is no problem with the storage process of the blood butterfly, then there is a problem with the person who bleeds the blood butterfly.

There was silence in the living room, and no one spoke.

Shen Nan'an suddenly remembered something, and broke the silence: "Weiyi, do you remember that day after we handed in the blood butterfly and came out, we saw a thin father-in-law at the corner."

Gu Weiyi shook his head, obviously forgetting.

Shen Nan'an continued: "That father-in-law is short in stature, and his back looks very thin. The strangest thing is that he walks with a limp."

There are already many slaves in the palace, and none of them will use lame slaves, let alone the warehouse.

"It seems that we have to make another trip." Gu Weiyi immediately made a judgment when he heard Shen Nan'an's words.

"No need, I know who it is." Xie Chengyan tapped his finger on the table, "Jiang Xueer."

She is short and lame, and what Princess Yi said yesterday, it's hard not to think of her.

He was still thinking that King Yi kept Jiang Xueer from killing him, because he wanted her to play a role?Unexpectedly, by chance and coincidence, he would find out about it in such a way.

Xie Chengyan smiled lightly and was in a very good mood. I am afraid that King Yi's plan will fail again. This time I have to thank Princess Yi.

"Jiang Xueer?" The prince and the others were very surprised when they heard this name. Since when did she and King Yi join forces?

"Well." Xie Chengyan said, "It's a long story, Your Highness, do you have any new discoveries?"

The prince shook his head helplessly: "Beiji is a long way after all, and it will take a few days for my people to go there, so naturally it will not be so fast."

"However, I have already begun to investigate the diet and daily life of the emperor. The poisoner has a vicious mind, but with more effort, the mastermind behind the scenes can always be caught." The prince said.

The prince sighed: "Father's situation is very dangerous, we only have two days left, we need to make a quick decision, A Yan, what do you think?"

Originally, the prince arrested Xie Chengyan just to put on a show, but he was so tossed about by King Yi yesterday, even if he wanted to invite the prime minister, he might not be able to invite the prime minister.

So today's Xie Chengyan is equivalent to a free man, as long as he is not recognized by others, he can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants.

Xie Chengyan replied: "I have already ordered Xie Beiluo to keep an eye on the fourth prince. With his temperament, he will definitely bite the hook. Then we can follow the clues to find out who is in collusion with him."

Xie Chengyan thought for a while and said, "Weiyi, you and Miss Shen should go together to investigate the whereabouts of King Yi. I'm still a little worried that Beiluo is alone there."

"Okay." Gu Weiyi and Shen Nan agreed, got up and went to look for Xie Beiluo.

"What about me?" Gu Zhaozhao asked, she also wanted to do something.

"You come with me to meet Jiang Xue'er in Prince Yi's Mansion." Xie Chengyan replied with a smile.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't stand you anymore." The prince sat aside and saw the two of them spreading dog food and felt his scalp go numb.

"Where do we have it?" Gu Zhaozhao replied.

"Then you all be careful, I'll go back to the palace first." The prince made a decisive decision, it's better to leave first.

Saying goodbye to the prince, Gu Zhaozhao remembered that Xie Chengyan hadn't taken medicine for his eyes, so he rushed to Yiwang's mansion after giving him medicine.
